Here's a challenge…
Authored by: acroyear on Oct 01, '02 08:09:48PM

Where're the resources for the "computer name" screen saver? I ask since it appears to have Apple's new signature font, Myriad (right?) embedded in it--you can type in most any host name and get to see it in all its Myriad beauty, right? Once upon a time you could extract Espy Sans from Apple Guide and eWorld, so I'm wondering if there's a 21rst century equivalent!

Thanks, and happy hunting!

The Computer Name saver is located at:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Computer\ Name.saver

The Pictures Folder.saver is located there as well.

Ack!

I renamed those, loaded the Screen Saver pref pane and got a popup saying "Can't load screen saver: Screen saver Computer Name did not load properly. Please select another screen saver. Error: Can't load bundle". It ate the "Choose folder" option that you use to specify folders of pictures to show, and it ate the folders I had chosen.

I closed and reopened the pref pane, and it crashed.

I returned the Computer Name and Pictures Folder to their original names, and now the pref pane is stable, but the "Choose folder" option is gone. *sigh*
